This is one of the earliest right hand drive Corsa Bs but. When new in 1993 the new Opel or Vauxhall Corsa B was a huge leap on from the previous Nova/Corsa A, but how does it hold up 30 years later

Look at the happy little face on this Corsa. Cars used to have smiley eyes and big grins on the grille. These days, cars look like angry Transformer robots. Angry frowny angry evil Decepticons.

I get an occasional lift home from work by a colleague who drives an R reg Corsa B and I love it. These ageing normal cars just ooze their own sort of quirky charm, especially now that they're becoming rarer and rarer to see on the road.

Miles better than the Fiesta mk3

I used to work for a Vauxhall dealer during the 90's, never ever saw one with heated seats, must be a very rare option.

This was a nice model, I drove a 1.4 once with power steering and it felt like a bigger car than it was.

Passed my test and learned too drive in this model Vauxhall corsa. It was the 1.5 turbo diesel and my driving instructor was a local bloke called John Vaugne who taught literally every young person in our town. He drank in the towns social club so he knew all the youngsters, he literally taught me, all my mates, my brother, sister and all their friends and all my mates brothers and sisters, so as a result he almost had celebrity status as the instructor who taught every young person in town too drive😂👍🏻 lovely guy and he’s retired now🙂

The beauty of those 8 valve engines was the torque - so what it didn’t have in horsepower, it made up for spritely pulling power. My first car was a Nova so was well aware of the Corsa B. The heated seats are a very unusual extra! It may be very simple and a ‘cheap’ car but it had substance unlike the over-techy cars now which none of which will last 30 years like this has. In South Africa we got the estate and the saloon as well as the ‘Bakkie’ pickup version! Superb video Matt and so so good to see it.

My mum ordered a flair model when they first came out. She had to wait quite a while for it as she wanted it in caribic blue. Withe the turquoise clocks dash knobs and paint splash turquoise and grey seats. It came from the dealer with an opel badge on the front and Vauxhall on the back. I wonder at the time if they were short of grille badges. She had it for three years then gave it to me when she got a new one. We both loved it

We had a 1998 1.4 Breeze that was quite nippy and ultra reliable for the year we had it (2011). In fact the first car my daughter ever travelled in. Long journeys were noisy but perfectly do-able. I'm amazed about the heated front seats option.

What a happy little lawn mower

Here in south America, we even had a pick up version of the Corsa. My dad had a 2001 Corsa Pick up with Isuzu's 1.7 litre diesel engine. It was a wonderful and stilish little pick up

These seemed to be everywhere for absolutely ages and as a result I never paid them much attention. Now that they've vanished, I realise how nice they are!

My friend had the 1.0 W plate last of the line facelifted corsa B. The little 1.0 3 cylinder 50bhp loved to rev and sounded great doing so. It could keep up with my polo mark 3 1.3cl.

Never knew heated seats were an option on the LS

@rodhili3946 Год назад

I had 5 of these while working as a driving instructor for BSM. I never had a problem with any of them but until I saw this video I had forgot all about them. They were very good cars for instruction though.

@pi6706 Год назад

I remember when these Corsas were out in the UK. They looked so modern and futuristic! So pleasing to the eye compared to a lot of other cars in it’s class. I so wanted one but couldn’t afford it at the time.

Hideo Kodama, being Japanese, took inspiration on a design style called bio design, introduced by Japanese car manufacturers in the early 90’s. It set the design for the whole of the 90’s. I very much like this era to be fair.

Great OHC engine as long as oil changed regularly. Things went downhill for Vauxhall engines when they started using timing chains . Great video as usual

Ah, the nostalgia! My mum owned one of these for 17 years from October 1999-early 2017 - a 1.4 5-door in Atlantis Blue. I spent my entire childhood in this car. It literally took us everywhere: to-and-back from school, holidays, day trips out and it was reliable as hell unless of course my mum left the interior light or the radio on and flattened the battery which happened quite a few times. Otherwise it never once failed to start and my mother, unfortunately, wasn't one to get it serviced very often so how it kept going I'll never know. It used to be quite a sight as we reversed out of the driveway in our aging Corsa to see our next door neighbour's relatively newer Seat Ibiza being tended to by breakdown services. I was sad to see it go, but rust got to it and, inevitably, it needed a lot of welding so she "upgraded" to my late Grandad's Astra F, and has recently acquired an Agila so her relationship with Vauxhalls continues.
